Thanks for everything. I haven't tried that C code you posted 'cause I've been occupied with other things and had no time to fix some issues in the virtual machine where I'm running Ubuntu. I believe that (the fact that I'm running it in VirtualBox) is the only difference in my setup, so it could certainly be the source of the problem. In fact, I've encountered much more trouble than I ever had when Ubuntu was my host OS.

Changes:
* Solved the hidden widgets leaving artifacts at start-up problem.
* Added support for conditional actions with <action condition="type">.
* Added support for <variable export="false">VARNAME</variable>.
* Added button-press/release-event signals to comboboxentry's entry.
* Added support for break i.e. don't process any more actions.
* Connected-up the realize signal so that it can be used within actions.
* Refreshing markup in a text widget now works as expected.
* Added three new examples including the Pfeme emulator front-end.
* Fixed bashisms within examples where possible and made them portable.
* Fixed three examples.

It's gone quiet so it must've matured by now Thanks to everyone who assisted with testing.

If anyone's interested I've written an emulator front-end using gtkdialog called Pfeme. I actually used a very small piece of perl code to merge the times-played data into the games list and it's so fast! I really recommend taking a look at perl to manage the complex parts of your applications.

Hi Thunor
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013 :)
Thank you for this new version of gtkdialog,
I put the packages for Ubuntu/Debian Bits 32 and 64 provide a ...

This is on the to-do list but I'll need to install a GKT+ 3 distro and I've become accustomed to downloading a puppy ISO and extracting the few files necessary, so if it involves burning an oversized ISO image then I'll have to locate my sole CD-RW disc packed away in one of my boxes which likely won't be oversized enough anyway.

Maybe it's as simple as changing the gtk+ and gthread version numbers in configure.in and running ./autogen.sh? I doubt it but it's the first thing I would do.

I've found Mageia 2 which uses gtk+ 3.6.2 on a 671MB live CD so I'll dig out my CD-RW over the next few days and partition/install/set-up etc. I'm sure ArchPup is really nice but for me it makes sense to develop on a mainstream distro that is ready to go.

Leave it with me, it'll take some time to get just the development environment running but it might be pretty straightforward after that.

@thunor, there is a mage2 puppy in next to final beta out, I'm awaiting a few retro fixes by the mageia people before bringing the final beta out, if it's any help.

There's a Puppy ISO and DEVX which includes gtk+ 3 and all dependencies ready to go? If so can I have a link please.

I haven't had any luck yet installing a gtk+ 3 distro because my CD-RW was too small and I got a boot loader up from my SD card + reader but it failed after that so I think it has to be a flash drive. I'm not familiar with installing from SD/flash so I don't know.

I shall have to create another gtkdialog branch because I'll have to purge the code of all the deprecated stuff and widgets (combobox, comboboxentry, list, table) so once I'm up and running it could take some time to complete.

I don't know what dev box you are using but Slacko-5.5 is ready very soon. It's based on slackware-14.0 bins like 5.4 but with many bugs fixed. Min system requirements are a P3 900 with 512 RAM, unless you want to do a full install then that can be cut down a bit.

I have just constructed an sfs of audacious which includes gtk+3-3.4.4-i486-1.txz and all development headers and libraries plus .pc files, docs and demos.
